About Jennifer

With over six years of tutoring experience, I've helped students of various ages and abilities. As an internationally certified tutor, I take great pride in saying that all of my students have successfully passed their courses and improved their grades.

My love for teaching began when I started tutoring at a local community college. In less than a year, I became a tutor facilitator (tutoring small groups), and a tutor trainer. Helping students to learn and build confidence are passions of mine. I understand that everyone learns at a different pace, and adjust tutoring lessons to each student's learning style.

Spanish is my second language, and I personally know the frustrations that come with learning a new language. My enthusiastic and interactive teaching style engages students and encourages them to actively participate in learning. I'm patient, mindful, and make learning fun. I help students organize, prepare for tests and stay on track of assigned schoolwork.

I honorably served 5 years active duty and 3 years reserve in the United States Marine Corps. I hold myself to a high standard, and for that reason, I often ask for feedback to ensure my students are satisfied. I will never bill for a lesson in which the student or parent is not completely satisfied with my tutoring.

I'm extremely flexible with tutoring locations, times and cancellations. I offer discounted rates for multiple hour sessions, reduced travel, online lessons, and returning students. To ensure that students have a quiet and comfortable study space in which to work with me, I reserve a private study room at the public library where I teach private lessons and small group classes. I'm happy to travel to another location if that is more convenient for the student. If you need to get started right away and want results then I'm the right person.With over six years of tutoring experience, I've helped students of various ages and abilities.

"Excellent tutor."

- RUSSELL, Carlsbad, CA on 2/3/14

Jennifer worked with my high school age daughter for a semester. Her grades greatly improved. Jennifer is a gifted instructor. She is very friendly and personable and that helps to create a positive and productive learning environment. She really helped with my daughter's English class, especially the essays. She is also good with helping kids learn study skills, and is a very focused and hard working tutor. You will be getting the bargain of your life as Jennifer is one of the most over-qualified tutors you will ever find. Take advantage of this opportunity before she finishes school herself!

"Great with teens"

- Shawna, Del Mar, CA on 12/7/16

Jennifer worked with my daughter with math and my son with Spanish. She was patient, low-key and even helped my son with organizing his binder (huge!). Both kids felt it was helpful and time well spent. Jennifer communicated frequently from the first time we interacted through the session. She makes it easy.

"Exceptional"

- Cynthia, San Diego, CA on 6/25/16

Jennifer is helping me prepare for the ASVAB test. Hands down best tutor I've ever encounter. She is very knowledgeable about this test, she will have you study in the subjects that are most important. She explains everything really well and helped realize the mistakes I made and teaches you how to do it correctly. I am grateful to have found such a professional, reliable and caring instructor. I'm very confident I will obtain a proficient score. Thanks to her!!!!

"Great tutor!!!!!!"

Jennifer always came prepared to help my son with his studies. I work at our local High School and gave some of our teachers Jennifer's information. That's how much I believe in her. Wonderful experience.

Jennifer's tutelage has significantly increased my son's understanding & knowledge of Spanish, and he's doing much better on his exams. She is a true asset.

She was easy to understand, and made it fun. Started with the alphabet and pronouns were very helpful. I am excited and looking forward to learning more.

"Amazing and really great Tutor!"

Learned and enhanced my basic my skills to the next level, was really good at figuring out where my level of math was at.

"Great first lesson!"

- Chrissie, Escondido, CA on 2/12/16

Jennifer was very patient with my apprehensive teenage son. He struggles with Spanish, in particular the speaking portion. Jennifer encouraged him to go ahead and practice his verbal skill, which he wound up doing, and I could already see more confidence in him after just one lesson.

"Excellent Tutor!"

- Zachary, Mesa, AZ on 12/6/15

Jennifer is a great tutor, I was using her so I could score higher on the ASVAB. I was attending tutoring sessions in person at first and they were very good, she makes sure you understand everything before moving on. Later on I started doing online tutoring classes with her. I was worried about doing them online because I always struggled with online courses but it was actually very simple. The programs she used helped out a lot, and the site she gives you to study for the test worked out very well and you can see how much you're improving. If I was to recommend a tutor to anyone it would defintley be her 100%!

"Superb and very good tutor"

- Alexis, Tempe, AZ on 10/28/15

Jennifer is very patient and has helped me improve my ASVAB score. Her method of preparing students for the ASVAB is very good and you learn alot from her. Really recommend jennifer to students that want to pass the ASVAB.

"Terrific Spanish tutor"

- Eve, Cardiff By The Sea, CA on 10/25/15

My niece received excellent tutoring from Jennifer for her college-level Spanish class. Jennifer was well prepared and provided flash cards and other materials to help her overcome her difficulties with conjugation. I'm very happy we found Jennifer!!

"I had my first lesson today"

- Ericson, Dana Point, CA on 10/1/15

She is amazing today is the first time I ever really understood anything what so ever about math and although I drive from mission veijo down to Vista it is 1000% worth the drive time and if you need a tutor I would 1000% say go to Jennifer

Jennifer was an amazing tutor. She really took the time to help me understand the principles I needed to succeed not just to get the questions correct.

"Awesome Tutor"

- Shannon, Buckeye, AZ on 4/24/15

My daughter was struggling in math, she has shown improvement in her math grade since we started with Jennifer in November 2014. Jennifer has a great deal of knowledge in finding different ways to incorporate learning for my child.

"Great ASVAB Tutor"

- Lonnie, Goodyear, AZ on 4/15/15

Working with Jennifer on preparing for the ASVAB test was very beneficial. Jennifer provided very skilled and pertinent instruction in the areas of math knowledge, arithmetic reasoning, word knowledge, and paragraph comprehension with most of our efforts directed towards arithmetic reasoning and math knowledge. With her help, I was able to successfully pass those areas of the ASVAB. Jennifer was extremely patient with me and constantly gave feedback that helped keep me motivated to do better. The fact that Jennifer is a Marine veteran contributes to the tutoring sessions as she is a constant reminder to what joining the military is all about. Certainly helps in keeping you motivated.

I can highly recommend Jennifer to anyone that is seeking a tutor to help them get ready for taking the ASVAB.

"Improves grades!"

- James Matt, Goodyear, AZ on 5/16/14

My son went from several Ds and Fs to passing everything! All in a couple of months too. His teachers noticed a difference right away.

"Very effective tutor."

- Pam, Bonsall, CA on 3/2/13

Jen is punctual, always prepared, and has a high level of professionalism. I appreciate the time she puts in preparing a great lesson. Jen is always positive, and patient, and pushes me to excel. In our first session she identified my learning style and prepares each lesson with that in mind. My Spanish improves with every session, as does my confidence in speaking a 'second language.'

Approved subjects

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

ASVAB

Having honorably served 5 years active duty in the United States Marine Corps, I'm not only familiar with the ASVAB, I'm familiar with the different Military Occupational Specialties (MOS). I scored extremely well on the ASVAB and after graduating bootcamp, worked as a Recruiter's Assistant helping other's to pass the ASVAB. In addition, I helped active duty military members who wanted to change their MOS to improve their ASVAB score to qualify for a different MOS. For nearly the past 10 years, I've been tutoring ASVAB prep, and I've helped many people improve their score and pass the ASVAB.

Spanish

Learning a language is like learning math. Once you know and comprehend the formulas, you're able to communicate and understand it better and faster. Since Spanish is my second language, I teach it from a learner's point of view, as I had to learn the language myself. Conjugating verbs is one of my favorite things to do and I have fun games to help you learn them too.
